Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but fatal complication caused by foreign body ingestion. Aortic replacement and endovascular stent graft are the common repair surgeries. The materials to repair an aortic defect in AEF are typically homograft or allograft, but the use of an autologous pericardium patch is rarely reported. Here we reported a patient with AEF and severe mediastinal infection induced by chicken bone ingestion. In this case, the autologous pericardium patch was used as the repair material.
主动脉食管瘘是一种因食管异物造成的罕见但致命的急重症。手术过程中多采用主动脉置换或主动脉支架来处理主动脉瘘口，修补的材料一般为人工合成材料，采用心包修补的方式修补主动脉瘘口的报道极为少见。本病例因误食鸡骨造成主动脉食管瘘并继发严重纵隔感染，采用自体心包补片进行主动脉破口修补。.
